1948 Map of Summersville
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Summersville serves as the primary hub for this post-war rural landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 17 and Highway 106. The map captures a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and country churches that anchored community life in the late 1940s, including uniquely named landmarks like Heelstring Sch and Turkey Oak Sch. To the south, the topography descends toward the Jack Fork, where numerous river crossings such as Harlow Ford and Ratcliff Ford connected isolated settlements before the widespread construction of bridges.
